PHP: Separate 2 or more values of 1 key in Array

Question

I have array came from my ajax

$contestant_name_arr = $_GET['contestant_name_arr'];
print_r($contestant_name_arr);

Whenever i try to get the value of each in loop i got error because instead of this

Array ( [0] => value1,value2 )

It should be look like this:

Array ( 
    [0] => value1 
    [1] => value2
)

How do I separate like that in the example above.

Either devise your url query string to be:

http://yourhost.com?contestant_name_arr[0]=value&contestant_name_arr[1]=value2

Or just simply explode;

$contestant_name_arr = explode(',', $contestant_name_arr[0]);

You can also leave out the numbers and do this: `http://yourhost.com?contestant_name_arr[]=value&contestant_name_arr[]=value2`. PHP will automatically number them. – Moshe Katz Aug 29 '16 at 12:04
